Ana Reyes leads sargassum cleanup operation in Las Galeras to protect tourism
In a joint effort to preserve the natural beauty and health of coastal ecosystems, the mayor of the municipal district of Las Galeras, in Samaná, Ana Reyes, led an intensive cleaning and sargassum removal operation. This initiative seeks to mitigate the negative impact that this marine phenomenon generates on the coastline and, therefore, on the influx of visitors to this important tourist area.
During the day, the municipal executive actively joined the efforts alongside her work team, supervising firsthand the collection and cleaning tasks on the beaches. Reyes emphasized that these actions are vital to maintain the competitiveness and appeal of the area to both domestic and foreign tourists.
It is essential to maintain these types of operations continuously, while implementing preventive measures that contribute to reducing the arrival and accumulation of sargassum on the coasts.
